Knicks guard Nate Robinson a Pro Bowl cornerback?

Before he became a first-round pick in the NBA and a dunk contest champion, Nate Robinson was a pretty good cornerback at the University of Washington. He thinks he could have been a Pro Bowler like Darrelle Revis of the New York Jets.

“And I followed Deion Sanders,” Robinson said. “That’s my all-time favorite athlete. Always. It’s always been Deion. He’d get his picks and do his dance. I think I could’ve been OK.”
